WOW Winner

Friday, 6 February 2015

As a makeup Artist I have a vast array of foundations from all different brands in my kit. Some expensive from your well known luxury brands, MAC, Laura Mercier, Armani etc. But I also have a love for high street cosmetic brands also, I believe that with a bit of research and testing different formulas you can find just as good quality from your local drugstore.

Here are my top 3 drugstore foundations that I have been using both personally and on clients.

I am in love with this foundation right now and after discovering it mere weeks ago I am already on my second bottle! It leaves a dewy finish without being shiny and has build able coverage. It's perfect for dry skin as its really creamy but not so much that it wouldn't suit normal/combination skin with a touch of powder. This has been my foundation of choice for my recent brides who want a glowing look while still having good coverage.

2.Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

A fabulous foundation for the price! Does what it says on the bottle and really does awaken your complexion, this product has more of a fluid formulation so therefore may not be perfect for those prone to oily skin. My skin is quite dry and I found it left a gorgeous dewy glow that lasts all day with a great coverage. Super drug were doing an offer where this foundation was £5.99 a bargain for this kind of product!

Gives instant flawless, natural looking finish, Wake Up & Glow! £8.99

3. Revlon Photo Ready Foundation

This Oil Free Foundation diffuses light to give the appearance of flawless skin. This foundation has been tested to provide flawless coverage under the harshest of lighting. As this foundation is Oil Free it's perfect for those with oily skin or those wanting a full coverage foundation, again this is a great one for brides as it looks totally amazing on camera. What's great about this product also is that it contains a high SPF of 20. £12.99
